Accesibility & Cooking
Product design for Tangible Interaction Workshop
PROJECT OVERVIEW
PROJECT TEAM
Anders G. Larsen; Ho Ying Leung; Jianyi Wang; Yunshan Jiang
Tangible Interaction Workshop, Master of Design (Interaction Design), Hong Kong Polytechnic University, 2019.
PURPOSE
As technologies have become more digital, many product-user interactions have become less physical. Handwritten letters have been replaced by computers and telegram machines have been replaced by smartphones. These flat-screen based interfaces are examples of products that have become intangible by relying too much on a single modality, vision. How can we design meaningful interaction that utilizes touch for better mapping and feedback?
CONCEPT
A multipurpose cooker designed for visually impaired users. Tangible interfaces on the front and sides of the cooker allow the user to safely feel the temperature and the water level. The controls are also modified for more tangible and natural interaction.
ROLE & RESPONSIBILITIES
Research and concept; Responsible for electronics and coding in Arduino IDE.
